I 6'LnaJtZy have, been able, to make, the
Florida trip I had been looking fioAuKLAd
to hor several months. On the way, I
visited with Pat Heckard in Alachua. Then
had an enjoyable meeting with C. R. Clark,
John Henry, John Stribhei and Lee Wood-
buJiy in St. Peters burg . Unhortunately,
(-006 not able to contact Mas. White in
Tampa. White visiting friends in Punta
Goarda, I talked with Chester Roberts in
Arcadia.
At this writing I am getting ready to
leave Key West , and hope to be able to
contact more Florida members on my way
home. (Before this got mailed , I made it
to Miami where I talked with Richard Cassity. Learned that he is a brother-in-law oh
Fred Lynch , one oh my Oak Ridge h^icnds and NSC A member., small world, isn’t it?).
Since this is the last issue oh SCRIP TALK behore the May meeting in Beckley, W\J,
this is the last opportunity hor me to encourage you to attend. In addition to the
opportunity to meet old hriends and make new trades, you’ll also have the chance to
make new hriends. Anyway you look at it, you should have another enjoyable experience.
The business meeting on Saturday, May 3rd should be interesting. We plan to talk
about non- pro hit incorporation hor NSC A, to present a draht oh a proposed Code oh
Ethics and to discuss progress oh the revised edition oh the Edkins Catalogue. We
will also be presenting the ANCIL V0N0H0E trophy hor the best article in SCRIP TALK
during the past year.
Another highlight oh the meeting will be the award presentation to the member who
has signed up the most new members during the past year. Elsewhere in this issue
Walter will be giving the current standings. This, however, does not necessarily
mean that the ultimate winner will be the current leader ih someone else would want
it badly enough!!
One hin&£ note - many oh you have signed one but less than | \ive new members since
May oh 1978. Although we have stated on several occasions that you can get a FREE
copy oh the Edkins’ Catalogue when you sign up a total oh ive new members, a lot oh
you still have only one, two or three new members. I would urge you to get to work
and round out the £Eve members behore the May meeting because the FREE book deal
expires at that time !!
Also, we have another good deal, in that hor only $16.00, a new member can obtain
both and Edkins’ Catalogue and one year’s membership in NSCA. So, sign up that new
member and sell him or her a book hor a total oh $16.00. This saves the member $3.00
and gets you another credit on your FREE book deal. In this way we all benehit !J
See you in Beckley .

TOM HITT, Box 970, Defiance, Ohio 43512
I have just finished some deep thinking and conplained to myself that I wasn't getting
a fair shake on this answering deal with NO pile of letters coming into the mail box.
Hie problem might be that I was not stirring up enough thought about collecting ! ! Put
some of these conments on file and try NOT to v.iite. . .
CARTER BROS. FAYETTEVILLE, W.VA. (Edkins' WV 997A5-100)
a. Is not listed in Dodrill' s book.
b. Listed in 1909-19 Bradstreets as "Firm's name . .G. S . .Furniture , Clothing,
c. I suggest that this be dropped from coal list as no direct connection...
to anyone who can furnish concrete proof before next column.
FRANKFORD STORE CO. (Edkins' WV1059A50)
a. Not listed in Dodrill.
b. 1919 Brads treet shows same company, at same place as a Milling Company.
c. Suggest removal from coal list !! Earn another $2.00 by sending me some proof !!
KANES CREEK SUPPLY CO., Kanes Creek, W.Va. (WV1473A series)
a. I would like to talk to the person that sent this series to Edkins for the first
book!! $5.00 to anyone that can verify this is coal and NOT lumber !!
b. Unless the second edition is going to list lumber also - reject this series !!
THE BIG STORE, Sistersville , W.Va. (WV2595A5)
a. Ever wonder why you never found other denominations for this SALOON?? (1912-13
W.Va. Gazetteer)
b. Not in Dodrill either?
c. Suggest that saloons not be put in second edition.
F. D. COLEBANK, Kart land, W.Va. (WV1245A series)
a. Not listed in Dodrill.
b. Listed in 1919-22-32 Bradstreets as a GARAGE/G.S.
c. I hope someone can furnish information to me about this, perhaps it is coal, but
you will have to convince me.
ETHICS ANV NEW FI NVS:
Any collectoh e'vOC buy a token horn another collectoh and know that the token was
'scarce' , 'AaAe', surely R-10, etc. accohding to the seller [oh trader), BUT , you £ind
that the same token is 4 till being sold or traded by the same person a year oa so tote a??
You cute being deceived and Lied to, my intend! I I would demand my money oa tha.de back/ .'
How, i{± the person (collector) told you how many were available and you still traded
oh bought, then this is a fiair transaction. Tints problem has two pants: (7) Vemand
to know [get a specific count oa number ofi each denomination ) what is available and
hemembeh who and what you did to get it. (2} you can't get a &aih shake, heply oh
trade - sphead the word abound. This might help.
HOBBY PROTECTION ACT: Anyone who wants a copy of the HOBBY PROTECTION ACT can send a
S AS E ( s e 1 f - ad dressed stamped envelope) and I will forward a copy.
Anyone that offers reproductions, fakes, fantasies, restrikes, etc. for sale that do
not conform to these regulations of the Hobby Act is seriously putting his collection
in jeopardy. The NSCA organization and members may be liable for damages as regards the
selling of reproductions in the mail auctions and allowing such items to be sold at
club meetings or allowing such members to do so. This matter should be discussed at
the next meeting and brought to the attention of all members by mail. Selling this
material is a serious matter. Under Section 3 any interested person may commence a
civil action for injunction relief and for damages in any United States District Court

SlRI PNOtES
BY: HAROLD LEE , 11 2 Wilson Ave., M odgantown, West Da. 26505
Recently, Scdlptod Rlchadd Coy and. I visited mAh Md. Lewis Peliegdln to talk,
about scdlp that he had used dudlng his many ye ids oh owning and managing company
stodes .
Md. Peliegdln delates his ^Irikt expedience with scdlp was In his holhed' s
stode located In Monongah, West Va, The stode was In Independent gdocedy stode
and was not associated with any coat company. The stode used PHILLIP PELLEGRINI'S
name and was established about 1S8 9. The only scdlp hid. Peliegdln knows oh with
hts h athed's name Is a dound 5 $ and an oval 10$ piece.
BUNKER SUPPLY COMPANY, located nead Cassvllle, was the /;-'t ~~l " ' any
stode that Md. Peliegdln owned. The coal company that BUNKER sULPl/ ui-i mNY
sedved was the DAY IS- WILSON COAL CO. and the mine was the BUNKER MINE. The owned
o h the coal company, Md. R. M. Davis, and Lewis Peliegdln stduggled thdough the
depdesslon yeads, wodklng togethed to keep both the mine opedatlng and the stode
solvent.
Dudlng the second wodld wad yeads, DAVIS-WILSGN COAL CO. became the lodges t
Independent pdoduced oh coal In West Vldglnla. The company not only owned the
BUNKER MINE but also owned the LOUISE MINE located at Chaplin, West Va.
Although Md. R. M. Davis was not w n the ' l t~de' business, he used CHAPLIN
SUPPLY COMPANY to sedve his employees . (CHAPLIN SSrrLY COMPANY was owned by
.'Id. Joseph Angottl) .
When DAVIS-WI LSON COAL COMPANY sold out to CONSOLIDATION COAL COMPANY, Md.
Peliegdln closed the BUNKER SUPPLY COMPANY and with Md. Mike Gill, pudehased the
EDNA GAS COAL COMPANY stode In Bdady, West Va. Md. Peliegdln managed the stode
and sedved the employees oh the JAMISON COAL AND COKE COMPANY. (O^lces wede loc¬
ated In Gdeensbudg, Pa.) Incldently, Md. Mike Gill, was Shedlhh oh Monongalia
County dudlng theld padntedshlp.
Dick Coy hound a small "I" countedstamp on NATIONAL VICTORY SUPPLY scdlp
(5$ and 10$ pieces) that was used by GILL AND PELLEGR1N In theld stode at Bdady,
West Va. When questioned, Md. Peliegdln was unable to associate the "Z" with
any oh his loans actio ns . We aoe hopehul he will think about It and dem embed Its
pudpose.
As poevlously depodted, the "B" countedstamp on NATIONAL VICTCCY CHPPLY
scdlp was used at the BUNKER SUPPLY stode when scdlp bf'v * -.dee. The "G"
and the "5” countedstamps wede used at the EDNA GA ? it^^e that had been denamed
the GILL AND PELLEGRIN SUPPLY CO. The "5" was v.Ji h*™* on the EDNA GAS COAL
CO. $ 1.00 and lated, when the smalleo dr i.^xlons became scaocc. NATIONAL
VICTORY SUPPLY 5$ and 10$ pieces we'"', 'centeds tamped with a "G” < $on Gill.
I believe the GILL AND PELLEG.uN SUPPLY COMPANY should be listed In oud coal
. company stf'.^L l. Evzi though they did not have scdlp with theld company name
and ui~d cu unteos tamped tokens, they did sedve coal mlneds wodklng at EDNA GAS
cw/L COMPANY.
Md. Lewis Peliegdln lives In Moagantown, West Va. at 252 Padk Staeet.

SCR I POLQGY - A NEW FEATURE
FOR "SCRIP TALK" BY:
CHARLES ROSS, BOX 491, SPENCER,
WEST VA. 25276
Many favorable com¬
ments were received
on the initial run of
the material by Scriptor
Charles Ross. A second
installment is being run
in this bulletin and will
be continued until the total
of 40 pages is complete....
PI eas_ e jao t£ tha t_t he jcomnpn set_s_and__the__
rare_and_S£arce rnt er i£l_arejno- tyl Is ted . _. .
The common is Ttems that were listed ten or more
times and can be determined by the low rarity numbers
in Edkins... The scarce and rare material that has never
appeared in a mail sale can also be determined by a high rarity *
number in Edkins. Many collectors have indicated that they are making
notes in their catalogs and listing books so that they will have a current
price guide on the various company listings... Rarity values have certainly changed
since the Edkins catalog and these changes will be reflected in the next edition. In
the meantime, the Ross figures will give you good reference material !
"PIS AND DATA" as space permits.... SCRIPTOR PAUL JENSEN has turned up some interesting
new items as follows: Beatty Coal Co., Mascoutah, Ill'. 7^t — Big Creek Mercantile Co.
(c/s for Big Creek Colliery Co.) Cuba, Illinois 5p — "Pioneer Coal & Coke Co., Pioneer, -
• Tenn. 5p — The Roslyn Fuel Co., Roslyn, Washington 5p — Dominion Coal Co. Inc., Penn- 1
ington Gap, Va. 5p — Big Four Wilmington Coal Co., Coal City, Illinois 25c — Cheney
L. & C. Co. .. (Cheney Lbr. & Coal Co. - coal mind and logging camp) Allgood, Ala. 20>C • —
The Blythe Supply Co. (c/s for Atwood Coal Co.) Blyth, Iowa 2c — Mitchell Supply Co.
(c/s for Greenridge Fuel Co.) Greenridge, Iowa 5c — Lockman Supply Co. (c/s for Central
Coal Co.) Lockman, Iowa 5 & 10c dated 1898, 10c dated 1915, and 50 & $1 dated 1896 —
Alta Coal Division of S.C.D. Co., Sumiton, Ala. $1 — North-East Coal Co. Inc., Thealka,
Ky. set 5 to $1 and same company White House , Ky. set 5 to $1... some real nice tokens !!
(You might want to note these listings in your reference books!).... Too, in event you
did not know, Betty Jensen is recovering from very serious surgery and would certainly
appreciate a card from you.... Many know that she has served as hostess at some of our
NSCA conventions... Why not drop- her a card at: P. 0. Box 271, Ft. Thomas, Ky. 41075...
Several scriptors have indicated that- they plan to attend the big Token Show in Chicago
on March 29 & 30, 1980 being sponsored by Scriptors Paul Cunningham and Rich Hartzog...
SCRIPTOR CLAUDE TRAVIS notes that a regional scrip event will be held at Lake Malone Inn
in Western Kentucky on Sunday, April 13th. Members close by might want to attend this
event. The inn is located at Dunmor, Kentucky - Phone 502/657/2121... Might be additional
info on this in this bulletin; . . . Approx, a dozen NSCA members attended the mini-meeting
in Fayetteville in February and some good swaps and trades were completed ... . At the
coin show in Charleston on February 23rd, we: cpuld have had a NSCA meeting - I saw among
others, Snodgress, Chappo, Overton, Miller, Nicholls, Bumgardner, Matheny, Colley, Hall,
and. possibly others .... Incidentally , the coin dealers with tables were mostly busy with
silver purchases and some didn't even have coins displayed... it was a regular circus to
- watch all- Of the transactions being made.... It is my personal thought that more and mpre
people will be turning to token collecting due to the great increase in coin prices....
Certainly our ranks should grow as people come to know the great hobby of coal, lumber
and manufacturing token collecting !! Are YOU doing anything to acquaint people with oui
hobby ?? _ SCRIPTOR JAMES COOPER, 2713 Cumberland Ave., Middlesboro, Ky. 40965, has a
new listing with fixed prices on complete and partial sets... Drop him a note!! Better
be making your plans NOW for Beckley, West Va. on Friday and Saturday - May 2 and 3 .. . .
It promises to be a good one !! More later as time and space permits .

NOTE: This initial sampling of the sale results should provide

As previously noted, the very common material has not been listed
and many of the known very rare and unique one and two known
company pieces have not appeared in any sale!! Many collectors
are recording this information in their reference books and check
lists so that (in addition to Edkins’ rarity listings) they will
have information on how to bid in mail sale listings !!

EARLS iON COAL CO,, Kcrmit,WV - I agree with Don's R-8 rating for the 1c pc. I do
not agree with R-6 on the $1. When Ancil and I went to the flea market he usually
took one to two hundred $1 pcs. He once told me that he had 800 of them. I don't

should get a set while they are selling for around $20. They will go higher !!

number of other NSCA members are also active in TAMS and would appreciate your
vote. . While the official nominees have not been announced, Paul Cunningham,
Dave Schenkman, Rich Hartzog, Ben Odesser (members of NSCA) will probably be
candidates ! !
Incidentally, the TAMS meeting this year will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio as a
part of the ANA (American Numismatic Assoc.) convention in August. This will be
close to West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee where the majority of our NSCA
members live. It would be a rewarding trip for you if you can make it ! ! Too,
if you are interested in TAMS membership, drop me an SASE and a blank will be
mailed to you pronptly ! I

“FLORIDA TRADE TOKENS’
by
C. H. Clark
This hardback catalogue has 28? pages. Pictures are
integrated with the stories and descriptions of about
2,000 Florida trade tokens. Hundreds of these tokens
were used at lumber, turpentine, crate, and other
company commissaries. The maverick list should help
with the attribution of Ingle and other ’’system’' scrip,
lumber, and lumber-related tokens used in all areas of
Florida. While the list of Florida’s known commissary
tokens is helpful to serious scrip collectors, the book
has much more. It covers a period from the 1830’s to
1979... from the old post exchange and other military
tokens, to the modern food stamp change tokens.
Price: $15.00, Postpaid
(Florida residents should add a 4.7® sales tax of 60j^. )

FLASH !! Just as we were preparing to make the final 'wrap-up' on this edition of
the bulletin, I received a phone call from Arlie Slabaugh in Pennsylvania. Arlie
is making plans to attend his first NSCA Convention and will either fly to Beckley
or Charleston and be with us ! As most of you are aware, Arlie is the President
of TAMS (Token and Medal Society) for the current year. In addition, he was the one
who encouraged me to work on a scrip catalog many years ago. He cautioned me at the
time that I should take plenty of time to assemble the material and I did not realize
the importance of his suggestion at that time due to my desire to hurry the feeble
catalog effort. Tbo, he was a valuable advisor for Don Edkins on the present cata¬
log and his article from the TAMS Journal was reprinted in the Edkins' catalog. I
have known Arlie for several years through correspondence and through our meetings
each year at TAMS. He is the author of many numismatic publications and is currently
employed by The Franklin Mint. I know that every NSCA member will join me in giving
President Arlie a great Scriptor welcome to Beckley in May.
